IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah set to be rested for the fourth Test

Team India have registered a convincing win in the third Test against England by 434 runs. While Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed yet another double hundred, Ravindra Jadeja claimed a fifer and helped India win. The fourth Test will be played in Ranchi from February 23. And, as per reports in Cricbuzz, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will be rested for the fourth Test in Ranchi.

Whether he will be featured in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala has not been decided yet and it could depend on the result of the fourth Test as well. However, the Indian team will fly out of Rajkot on Tuesday (February 20) and Bumrah is unlikely to go with them. He will probably go to Ahmedabad on Monday itself. It is also noteworthy that, there is no information of any other player skipping the next Test as well.

Jasprit Bumrah did well against England so far

However, the decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah is part of workload management by the Indian team management. Bumrah, the highest wicket-taker of the series (17 wickets at 13.64), has already bowled 80.5 overs in the three games so far as well.

Meanwhile, another pacer Mohammed Siraj was similarly rested for the second Test in Visakhapatnam. Although Bumrah is set to be rested, there is no replacement announced yet. Mukesh Kumar, who was earlier released from the third Test to take part in the Ranji game for his state Bengal, will rejoin the Indian squad in Ranchi as well.
